Gamestop 20% off used games

I got a couple of Wii games from Gamestop.com and they were all scratched to hell. Thinking of going to an actual store and just getting better copies and returning the shitty ones.

yea there's NOTHING that stops you from returning online purchases for better in store ones...I usually dont do gamestop.com orders because rarely do they have great coupon codes that make for better prices than in store with edge or coupon.

Plus, shipping times suck, I accept it from amazon since they almost always have better deals than any B&M
 
[quote name='chrislisting']you have quite an imagination then, i presume, not to be as presumptuous as you are.... illegal code stuff? how could using a code they gave me be illegal? and i just got my first gaming console in nearly 10 years (a ps3) in january and started using gamestop.com in late march from my bday present...idk what people on this site do, but i dont resell games, steal games, copy games, or whatever else people might do. i dont even know what an illegal resale would constitute...if you own a game or any item for that matter, you have the right to sell it, but that has nothin to do with my story

in actuality, i traded in about 20 very old games during the 50% trade in sale in march, and got 38 bucks. i had no idea what games were good except from metacritic and gamespot reviews so i placed four orders and they made two order mistakes (sent a confirmation of shipment soon followed by a cancellation without notifying me)...so i called up to ask why i never got my games and they said i didnt have enough money on my card. i asked how could that be possible if the orders went through and i got shipment notices. more importantly, why didnt anyone bother to tell me. they said the ordering dept made an error, and since no one bothered to call or email me to let me know, they apologized by sending me four coupons. they even sent me a screenshot of the OSI window which is their order interface to show why,how, and where they fucked up. so they admitted their fault and tried to make up for it.

what they didnt like that i used those coupons right away on games that were preowned, 3 of which were $25-30 (the only expensive one they had no problem with placing was the first order, uncharted 2). so since i spent $2.50 for 2 games, and $10 on another where other customers would be spending 25-30 at regular price respectively, they got pissed off and accused me of stealing someone's gamestop account, an obvious impossibility and a lie to try to scare me

after a lengthy correspondence with a supervisor, they saw their error and replaced my orders. they were cancelled yet again almost immediately (this time by the asshole order dept supervisor john who probably started this whole mess), but this time i got the lead agent. i told the pompous asshole florian that he was simply rediculous because how could i steal someone's edge account when it was registered in my name to my address, phone,etc... and then listed all of the games i traded in for the edge credit/card....so he told me, "ok i understand, ill fix the problem and unflag your account, but dont use the remaining codes for another couple of months" which i saw no reason to listen to. who the fuck is he to tell me not to use my credit or coupons?? could i tell him not to sell my traded games for a couple of months? no...so i placed my order cuz i wanted my game, i have no reason to explain this, it was my money, my coupon, my bday, and i wanted my own present

so after i used my last coupon, they cancelled my order again claiming that it was too much activity (regaurdless that it was my birthday during march and i wanted to get myself games with my credit and coupons which they knew since you have to give your drivers license if u didnt know) and since i didnt listen to him to not place an order using a coupon, that i would be banned.

on a side note, strangely, before being banned, i called them to ask if i could place an order with them over the phone personally so that their suspicion wouldnt arise again with an online order, but a dumb bitch named nicole said i couldnt use my edge card, they asked me for my credit card number, they told me that my orders were not eligible for any coupons (including "saver," "cag16", "15new" or "auto10") and that shipping charges would apply even if my order was over $25. when i asked to speak to a supervisor about why she needed my credit card, and why my edge account wasnt good enough to place an order, she refused to put the supervisor on, and quickly changed the story to "please hold...:waited 2 minutes:...i just spoke to my supervisor and he said i could take your order with your edge card and coupons," so i asked why the sudden change, and she deferred by saying "i said id take your order so what game did u want" to which i demanded to speak to the supervisor, and only after my fifth insistence did she put him on.

the supervisor then took the order without a problem, and when i asked him what the fuck was going on over there, he said he didnt know, and when i said that the sales rep wouldnt let me speak to him, he said that was odd, apologized, and asked for the other reps that gave me the hard time....

i could only assume (aside from them not making much profit from 3/4 orders) that because i have an audible disability, that they could try to get over on me. i still want to know why she asked me for my credit card number. i told them, i might sound slow, but im not stupid.

so keep leanin till you tip over arite there buddy, cuz i did nothing wrong. actually, i think an apology is in order for your comment but i couldnt care less so think whatever you want. its not my fault they made their mistakes and tried to put them on me to cover their own asses, like i said, i might sound stupid/slow/whatever but im not

so have a nice day[/QUOTE]

:lol: i dont smoke pot dick, kush has a nice avatar (puff puff pass is a name of a "stoner" movie) and GS customer service gives their names when they answer like any other company, and i think banning someone for four orders is a good indication of their sentiment so unless you're clueless you wouldve noticed that.... so many idiots, so much time :lol:
 
Sweet thanks. Finally I am rid of my gamestop giftcard from christmas. Only time I used to shop at gamestop was for b2 g1 sales. Other than that I hate the place but people continue to give me gift cards for there.
I ordered a bunch of stuff I always wanted to play but probably isn't that great.

Warriors Orochi
Enchanted Arms
Ninety-Nine Nights
Kameo
Saints Row

33.79 my gift card was for 30 so it cost me about 5 bucks after tax.
 
I'v spent over 500 cred the last month. If they would ban anyone for codes or over activity it would be me. They don't bother me at all. I got 10lbp's last week for 150 total and they were cool with it. I guess the website is cool with me.
 
hi, Im thinking of getting PS3 MLB 10 The Show used, but it says that it might not have case and instructions. Do you think its safe to order this game, or wait for a better deal and purchase new, Thanks....Also does this game come with a special code to play online like the EA games need.

Can I have a copy of your 40% off all used games in-store coupon?

Really, though, seriously? When was the last time we had a decent in-store coupon? You can use your Edge card online, you can ALWAYS get an extra ~15% off with Edge+CAG16, and orders over $25 always get free shipping. How could Gamestop's website NOT be the preferred choice?

YMMV on the online code, and all the contents. If you've got a GS store close to you, though, if it doesn't come with everything you want and the store has a copy that does, you can always swap the two out.

Make sure you apply the Edge card if you have one, and use 25OFF for the order if you plan on making it over $100.

If you're worried about not having the case and manual...Then don't buy it from Gamestop at that price. It doesn't make much difference to me, unless I know I'll be trading it in or selling it.
